A quick Google search reveals:

Specifically, there are drivers on this page to help you turn a Radeon 9500 into a 9700 and overclock it:

thanks Yawgm0th :) 8) :P

I've managed to do that for win 2000

now I'm looking for a way to do it in win 98 too

You can search around Google, but I'm not sure it's possible. I think you can use omega drivers (use Google to find them) for overclocking, but I don't think you can use it as a modded 9700. But I'm not positive, so search around some.

Wow! I didn't know that it was possible to make a 9500 a 9700! I might go out and get me one of those if I will save that much money and still get a great card!

Another good one is 9800SE 128M 256bit and softmod them to 9800Pro, I have even heard where you can hardmod them with the addition of an after market cooler to 9800Xt performance.
